I’m 10w2d. I’ve never had a problem sleeping before. I could lay down and be right to sleep for 8 hours but now I keep waking up in the middle of the night and staying awake for hours not being able to go back to sleep. I’m tired all day so I don’t understand why I’m having trouble with sleep. Anyone having anything similar or know and solutions? Thank you!

yep! happened to me last pregnancy too. it is by far my least favorite symptom of pregnancy. Exercise helps, magnesium helps, and not looking at your phone/tablet a couple hours before bed helps. however, I think it's just something hormonal and it really kind of just is what it is. Sucks!

I think it's hormonal. I sleep about 1 hour a night at the mo despite total exhaustion. Just keep hoping the sleep will come back. Have been listening to sleep hypnosis on YouTube which hasn't helped me sleep but definitely helps with the anxiety from not sleeping!

This is me too. I joke that I slept trough my first pregnancy. I took naps and slept perfect the whole 8 months with my son. Now this time around I sleep a few hours and then am up for long periods of time - it’s not fun.

Taking a soak in the bath with a few drops of lavender oil helped me to relax when I was pregnant with my son. We don’t have a bath tub in this house and I miss it so much! I would even get up at 2 or 3 am and have another soak if I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. And like a PP said, do NOT look at your phone! Don’t even check the time! It will stress you out.

I wash struggling up until 13 weeks; I’m 14 now. I couldn’t name get comfortable and keep waking up to pee. This week, I started drinking most of my water earlier in the day, tapering off around 4 and I got a U shaped pillow. I still wake up occasionally to pee, but I’m so much more comfortable in my “nest” and can actually fall back asleep!

Same problem here! Never an issue sleeping in my life and now I wake up to pee and am awake for hours. 🙄 I did try unisom/b6 to help with nausea... it works amazingly well to get a full 8 hrs of sleep. 😊
